Redlining & White Noise Part 8 | Redlining with Preston Allen

About this episode

In this episode of Redlining & White Noise, we get to the topic of Redlining. Charles Rotramel and Gregg Taylor meet with Preston Allen, Director for Community Development at Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church, located in the Third Ward of Houston. We talk about what redlining is and -- beginning in the early part of the 20th Century -- how the U.S. government, through redlining policy, intentionally and systematically segregated African American neighborhoods for the purpose of severely limiting wealth-building opportunities. We also discuss the current ramifications of the federal government’s complicity in this institutional practice of racialized otherization and stripping of wealth.
